I have a confession!

July 27, 2017

I have a confession to make. When I started blogging I thought it was going to be a get rich quick type of career. I thought I would get thousands of emails a day from companies, trying to work with me. I soon realized that this experience was not going to be like that, but I still didn’t take it seriously. I thought my audience would come to me. And I certainly didn’t think it would be this much work. I have shed blood sweat and tears into what I thought was trying to really be a blogger. I fell into a deep depression and spent days and nights praying to God that he would send readers my way.

So I have taken some time off to do some soul searching to see if I can handle the presser of being a FULL-TIME BLOGGER, as well as a stay at home mom. And this time I’m giving all my hard work to God and hopefully I can create exactly what I have been trying to do since I first started blogging. But here is my promise to my readers, I promise not to sell myself out at every chance I get to make money. I promise, to actually work on growing my blog and becoming a better writer. I promise to listen and respect your opinions on my blog.

I apologize that I took my blog for granted and I will never do it again.

I’ve always wanted to be a “real” blogger but I struggle finding time to ever write and juggling being a stay at home mom and small business owner. I’d love to hear your struggles, acheivements, and and advice you have.

When I first started blogging over 6 years ago I didn’t even realize you could make money from blogging. Well, I think I had some idea that the bigger bloggers probably made money somehow, but I had no concept of how that was done. And I don’t think there’s anything wrong with admitting that’s why you originally started! I think most bloggers that started in the last couple years are in the same boat, and I also think that many of us also had no idea how much work is actually involved in putting yourself out there! It’s so hard to balance being a mom and blogging, especially if you’re trying to be serious about it and see it more as work than a hobby. IF you love it, keep working at it, you’ll find your groove!
